I have to agree with all who have posted, it looks like almost all the regulars.  I found it a couple of months ago and have not logged on to any of the other forums since.  Only one I would want to support.  I have posted about my two new boys, now 10 weeks old, I stay home with them full time and this is the most of my "adult" conversation on a daily basis.  Thanks to all.  One of the posts makes me want to meet tacklebury for lunch when I am in Michigan this summer. During the midnight feedings you guys keep me grounded.  Dinny congrats on the medal, and I understand the promotion delema, I retired from the Corps after 20 and spent the last 12 as a SSGT.  To all on the forum THANK YOU.

Don't know how I missed this post when it was first posted. 

Without a doubt."This forum is a special place!" 

Couldn't have said it any better, and wouldn't try.   
"You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts." - Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan

When you allow a lie to go unchallenged, it becomes the truth.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

The first thing I do in the morning, after I pour the coffee, is pull up GBO. I have found a wealth of information and experienced cameradie that is lacking in our modern world. I feel accepted by the people here and closer to some than those I worked with for twenty five years. Pete caused me to have my 223 Handi bobbed to 16 1/2"...THANK YOU Pete! Gendoc was kind enough to answer a question by PM, THANK YOU Doc! I have gleaned a huge pile of information from the posts here..THANK YOU All! I waited, with everyone here for Dinny to get home safely...THANK YOU for your service Dinny! This is a special place and I am glad to have it available.

Yep, by far my favorite forum. I hadnt had a chance to spend much time on here the past couple weeks. Got on last night to read some recent post and was cracking up within a few seconds. All the guys were still here, still making jokes, and still dispensing um, advice. The world was right...

I have been around here a while and enjoyed MANY MANY hours of reading and getting to know tid bits about many of your lives... From the whole taste great less filling debate on Rim or Rimless, to Pray for my family we just lost a loved one, but also good recovery posts about how someone had been down and out with illness and with many thoughts and prayers we all helped!
I have had all good trades with every one I have dealt with and the 5 or 6 of you I have met face to face have been very nice. I have been posting less and a little busy lately but I do try to check on you all a couple times a day  :) .
This is a H&R forum but its more like the coffee shop where we all just wander through and fill our cups from the self serv pot and visit a bit on our way to the next part of our day.
Thanks gang for good friendship and good information for our Handi habbit. Hope summer is good to you.   Brent
